In a chip type solid electrolytic capacitor including a capacitor element and a packaging resin covering the capacitor element, the packaging resin has a mount surface and a side surface adjacent to the mount surface. A terminal is electrically connected to the capacitor element and coupled to the packaging resin. The terminal extends along the mount surface and the side surface to have an outer surface exposed from the packaging resin and to have an inner surface opposite to the outer terminal surface. The inner surface has a stepwise shape formed by forging.

Method of making chip type solid electrolytic capacitor having a small size and a simple structure

Chip type solid electrolytic capacitor having a small size and a simple structure

A chip-type capacitor includes a capacitor element, an encapsulation resin covering an entirety of the capacitor element, an anode terminal having a base portion whose bottom surface is exposed on a mounting surface of the encapsulation resin and a standing-up portion perpendicular to the base portion and having one end connected to the base portion and the other end welded to an anode lead wire led out from the capacitor element, and a cathode terminal fixed through a conductive adhesive to the capacitor element so as to expose a bottom surface on the mounting surface of the encapsulation resin. A depressed portion is formed on each of opposite side surfaces of the encapsulation resin, thereby partially exposing a top surface of each of the anode and the cathode terminals opposite to the bottom surface to form a terminal exposed portion exposed out of the encapsulation resin.
